About

This Blog is a journey through all 88 episodes of the 80’s TV show Scarecrow and Mrs King. I will be working my way through each episode in their original airing order [mostly! but may deviate from time to time with explanation! 😉 ]

I am walking through the episodes with the aim of not jumping ahead with Lee and Amanda’s story- but focusing on where Lee, Amanda and the story are at in each episode as we go along.

Up until the end of Season 4, Episode 4 ‘It’s in the Water’ – the walk was publishing regularly more or less, taking a long time to walk through an episode at a slow pace..

From Season 4, Episode 5 ‘Nightcrawler’ the blog will switch to more of an ‘event based’ format – posts will be less frequent – and when the next episode is written up and ready to go – I’ll announce when the walk through the next episode will start. Then, we’ll walk through that episode consistently for a week or two. Then, there will be another (likely long) break till the next episode is ready to go. Make sense? I’ll keep you updated – so be sure to subscribe to receive the update posts.

I hope you will join me and share your own thoughts on Lee Stetson, Amanda King… and the world of SMK! 🙂

Hi Beth no worries. this comment just went into moderation because you used a different handle. If you use ‘Beth’ or ‘Beth b’ consistently in future,with the same email address you should hopefully avoid comments going into moderation in future.
it’s great to have you join us! 🙂 lol I figured you weren’t really yelling at me 🙂

I’m not really joining anything I just happen to be watching it and wondering why he has the name of Stetson but his father’s brother is Clayton. Just very confusing and I love the show and thought it was smart thing to ask 🙂 I really don’t know anything about moderation and boards and things. I don’t do that sort of thing. I was simply just curious and thought you could help out. No biggie! Thank you for your time and anything you can provide. ☀️😊, Beth

This Is my all time favorite show and I was so excited to find your blog recently. I’ve really been enjoying this walk through and looking at these episodes again with fresh eyes and a different perspective. Thank you for creating such an enjoyable journey through the world of SMK.

Hello! Not sure how I stumbled across your blog, but have been lurking here for well over a year. You’ve got me hooked! IWSOD, I love how your posts are a delightful mix of minute detail, excellent screenshots, hilarious emoticons, and respectful irreverence.
I’m a child of the 80’s and my family definitely watched SMK, though I think a lot of episodes were preempted for Monday night football? I was always excited by the opening credits because we had the exact same scarecrow which we hung up at Halloween!
Lee is, of course, as “cute” as my little girl memories of him. He looks especially fine in all the European episodes and in the one where he brings a pizza to Amanda’s house. Back then, I couldn’t understand how Lee could be remotely attracted to Amanda, especially in her “hair don’t” phase. Watching the eps in your revised order, as well as from an adult perspective has really helped change my opinion. Service Above and Beyond is the ep I remember most clearly because of the beautiful blue dress (love the color, not the style) and Lee carrying her down the stairs (swoon!) I agree with others that it’s BB’s and KJ’s chemistry that makes this show still watchable today.
Lastly, I’ve been struck by and have been building a list of similarities between SMK and my 90’s favorite, The X-Files. If anyone’s interested, would this make a good guest post or would it be better over at Nedlinger’s?

Welcome Kiki! I know there are some other X-files fans on JWWM. I’m thinking there was a thread on it at Nedlindgers but I can’t seem to find it. I’ll leave it up to Iswod to decide but maybe you can send us an email with a bit more detail on your idea? Tks 🙂

Hiya Kiki, can you email me more about what you’d like to do a guest post about? Yeah there was a thread on Nedlindger’s about X files.. it’s in the ‘off topic’ section -which I believe is only available once someone has posted a certain number of times. I’m not sure. I haven’t been to Neds in ages! any smk time I get is spent here these days because I don’t get enough!
Email me (see side bar) and I’ll email you back 🙂
welcome by the way!!

Well, I am finally biting the bullet and making a [very long] post here! Like so many others, I watched SMK as a younger version of myself, wearing out the VCR to record episodes once it syndicated. Then life happened – college, marriage, and four “small” kids (only one “small boy”, the rest girls) – and gradually my all-time favorite show had become an old friend that I totally lost contact with. About a year ago, something triggered a memory of the show, and I just started searching for SMK anything and everything online, which led me to JWWM. I ordered the series on DVD, and as I watched, I would read through an episode on the walk alongside. I absolutely LOVE this walk and am so very thankful for you all who have kept it alive and well. I genuinely love every post, and find that you articulate so well things I feel or think about a particular scene, character, etc. I am now going back through older episodes now and re-reading them during this break…it is a great way to unwind, look into the development of these amazing characters, see some swoony pics of BB, and laugh out loud so often at comments (or Francine’s outfits)!

I have never posted anything anywhere (I don’t usually even do reviews on Amazon! Ha!), but this blog has become such a special part of my world. IWSOD and other moderators, I just wanted to encourage and thank you for all of your time and effort into this project and the integrity with which you have maintained it. I look forward to finishing season 4. I’m also thankful to find I’m not the only person out there who loves [and obsesses over] this show so much!

Ok, I hope that isn’t too long, so sorry. As long as it is I know I didn’t get everything out that I wanted to! I genuinely thought I would probably never post!

Hi Amandarambler. Great to hear from you. I’d never posted anywhere myself before this blog. Yes, Iwsod has done an amazing job with the blog. Please post some more on the individual posts with your thoughts 🙂

A fresh and young SMK-Website…. YEAH!
I am obsessed with SMK for more than 15 years, maybe 20 years.
It is great to see that the show still has fans, especially young ones.
Thanks for your work with JWWM.

Hello again…just finding the About section and that one can comment here too. Now I did explain a little how I got here in my first comment on the TWWH post, but here it definitely makes more sense. 🙂

So, my actual name is Natalie, and I stumbled upon an SMK episode while it is currently being rerun on German TV. I’ve not watched it during the original run since that’s virtually impossible as I’m too young…let’s just say, if Amanda and Lee should be expecting a baby by series end that could be me, lol.

Anyway, at first I was like “oh my gosh, an 80ies show…ugh”, but then nothing else was on and I was preoccupied with something else, by the end I was watching and found myself doing so the next week too. Quite frankly, BB and KJ’s chemistry had me totally hooked and now I obviously wanted to know if they got together and how – um, the characters that is, lol. …oh well, the rest is history as they say. I ended up looking for info about the series and this is how I found the blog. And am I glad I did! It made me appreciate and love the show even more. It’s just great to be able to see what other fans think of the characters and episodes. That kind of experience helps obessing with a show which I’m definitely am doing now – no day passes by without me watching an episode (Of course I already got myself a copy of the DVDs 😉 )

So that’s my little story of how I found YWWM. It actually made me wish there was a blog like this to every show I love out there. FANtastic idea and terrifically realized!!! ❤

Just a quick hello. I was in HS when SMK came out and my family tuned in obsessively every week. A friend and I taped every episode when it aired in syndication in college and parsed them down to minute details and glances. I only just discovered that the show was available on DVD and now have started introducing my 10 and 7yos to the show as part of their “80’s education”. 😉

Halfway through my first rewatch of Season 1 and am thoroughly enjoying having a companion in your blog to walk through them with me. Thank you!

So far I really surprised how they have NOT commented on technology. haha
I have a hard time not drinking every time Lee has to go find a payphone. Blue Leader can zero in on their radios in their cars but they can’t have some kind of radio for their work communications? I’m betting even in the early 80s military and government had enough technology for that. 😉

My friend and I chalked a whole lot of stuff like that up to “PP” (plot purposes) even in 1990. 😉

Great blog! I am so happy to find other SMK fans. When the showed aired in the 1980’s I was working shift work so I only saw a few episodes. I do remember work colleagues talking about SMK, and ‘Back Then’ the water cooler comments were often the best info on a TV show. Fast forward to another century and country, Germany. SMK was on German TV dubbed into German of course. I started watching SMK, and enjoyed it! For me it was time travel without the DeLoren auto. One thing I get a kick out of is seeing the computer equipment and other high tech toys that were state of the art back then – I worked with a lot that stuff(Yes, I am that old). I then found all 4 seasons on DVD so I could enjoy SMK in English. Another nice surprise was that 8 or 9 episodes were never shown on German TV? Maybe a copyright issue because a few of the actors in these episodes are well known German actors.
I found this blog because I watched SMK episode ‘The Eyes Have It’ and noticed that the photo of Lee’s parents is Kathleen ‘Kick’ Kennedy on her Wedding Day to an Englishman. I was wondering if I was the only one to catch that detail? I was not, and happy that I am not the only person that notices details like that.
Another thing I noticed is that Bruce Boxleitner’s wardrobe in SMK is really good, Ok the guy is a clotheshorse and could were almost anything, but still many of his outfits could be worn today. With the ladies, they would have maybe get rid of the shoulder pads.
Anyway, looks like I found a blog that I will enjoy along with watching SMK.

Hi Donald and welcome to the blog! Glad you found us here. We are all fans of SMK (obviously!), finding new details, and everyone’s wardrobe of course. You’ll find several blog posts about Lee’s ties and the characters’ wardrobes. We love to make fun of some of the 80s fashions, but we also are quick to say when we think they look good. Lee in a tux is a particular favorite look around here as is Amanda in her evening wear. I hope you enjoy reading the many posts and following along with the episodes. Comments on any post are welcome at any time, but we do not get ahead of the blog, so no talk about S4 or even the latter part of ATWAStage (episode we are currently walking through). See you around the blog!

Yeah there have been a few interesting differences in what Germany saw of smk – some episodes missing, some story lines changed.. as you read through blog posts you’ll see other German fans have mentioned some instances – let us know if you come across any yourself! 🙂

Hi Iluvsmk! Love your handle! Your first two comments went into moderation because you were a first-time commenter. Your next comment, should post directly to the blog. Moderation for first-time comments is a safety feature to prevent spammers. Welcome to the blog! Hope you have lots of fun here!

Hi Byron (and wife) – welcome! So glad you’re enjoying your DVD’s. And yes, well all still enjoy the show here! Comments on any post past and present are welcome! Just make sure to not get ahead of the walk. We may know what happens in S4, but we don’t talk about it until we get there. See you around the blog!

Again: lovely site! (I posted in a S3 thread yesterday). Last week, I found some old files (txt documents from Usenet in the 90s, when I was in college!) by a “Continuity Queen” which I’d always found hilarious, and decided to google her. This was one of the links that popped up, but …is anyone here the “Continuity Queen”? Just curious and wanted to give her a shout out for years of enjoyment in the late 90s, WELL after the show was over. The writing SEEMS really familiar, but my “continuity queen” folder didn’t have any other name attached (and the files were incomplete too).

OMG I am so glad I found this site!!!! I visit here daily reading the transcripts and the screencaps of my fave eps of SMK!!!!!! My mom and I were huge fans of the show and when i was a kid, and it was still being aired on TV (on various networks) we would watch it together!!

Just wanted to chime back in quickly and say Thank You so much IWSOD and BJo (I hope I did that right!) for your quick and warm welcomes. IWSOD – I am glad you like the handle and avatar. Bjo – I am in New Hampshire permanently starting the beginning of August. This is simply so incredibly amazing and now to be a part of this community. Summer is vacation for teachers and so I promise not to comment too much 🙂

Welcome! I do approve of all that plaid!. Be sure to check out BJo’s SMK stats posts (search under “Topical SMK – links, either in the sidebar or in the top menu) to see her comments on Lee-in-plaid 😀
(And I’d also never posted on a blog before this one. Boy, have I made up for that…. 🙂 )

Well, I hope you find this place to be a continued warm welcome. I think we’re generally a kind bunch 🙂 I must say that I am jealous of your location come next month…I am originally from CT, but I now live in GA where we are sweltering about this time of the year! There is no escaping the heat, even indoors, when Lee Stetson’s dimples are concerned!

Not sure how to begin this as I have never commented on a blog before and sort of a bit embarrassed to do so. I know this will not be as eloquent as many of the posts I have read. However, I wanted to say thank you from the bottom of my heart to this entire wonderful SMK international fan community for putting this incredible blog together and getting the show released.
I recently rediscovered this show by accident along with the blog. I was searching for the history of fairy tale romances in the media for my middle schooler’s fairy tale unit as I am a teacher. To my shock, the clip from Utopia Now popped up on my search as a YouTube clip. I nearly fell out of my seat not having seen it in I think 30 years.
This show brought back so many wonderful memories for me as it got me through some very tough transitions in my life. It was a wonderful escape from a hard reality. The chemistry and adventures of these two characters kept me coming back every week.
In college, I had a poster of a silver Corvette, and having come from the northeast of the US actually wore a lot of plaid at the time. I could never find Amanda’s red and black plaid. I had green and black. LOL! Unfortunately, with a lot of moving around, I lost my beloved poster, plaid shirts, and VHS tapes of the original airings of the show that I used to watch after late night study sessions.
It is funny timing having found the show again and now the SMK fan community at yet another hard transition in my life. I bought the entire series on Amazon recently and right now am just watching the shows I happen to remember. I am looking forward to starting from the beginning as I am pretty sure I missed some. I have found a place to escape reality or as I have read on this blog to escape into a rabbit whole with a glass of wine and some chocolate at least for a little while. This show puts a smile on my face, a giggle on my lips, and a sigh in my heart every time I think about some of their wonderful scenes. I have found myself actually laughing out loud again at the comments and insights I have been reading. Just wishing I thought to search for this years ago, but I guess better late than never. If I do have some time to comment, I will make sure not to jump ahead and stay where the two characters are in their development. Thank you again from a very grateful long time fan.

Hi RachelinPlaid! So glad you decided to jump in and post a comment. I have to say that as I was reading your comment that I felt like I could have written it myself (except the teaching part). This was the first blog I ever commented on too. Like you I’m from the northeastern US and found this blog a wonderful escape that helped me through a very rough time in my life.

Your comments are welcome on any post at any time; we often revisit old posts. That’s part of the fun. So welcome to this fun and wonderful world of Lee and Amanda and Corvettes and plot holes and ridiculous baddies and beloved support characters. It’s definitely a great place to escape to!

Welcome!
I remember feeling just like you. I had never commented on a blog before when I made my first remarks here. Now it doesn’t even feel like an online blog, it feels like a place to hang out with friends. JWWM is the perfect place to unplug for a bit and enjoy pleasant diversion from real life, isn’t it? I think its interesting the way so many of us rediscovered SMK at a difficult season in our lives. I did too. And between Lee and Amanda and the people on this blog I was able to laugh during a time in life where laughter wasn’t really available in real life.
I live in southern New England and I homeschool my children, so I also understand the beauty of summertime!!! I love it! I hope you use your summer to comment often. We love revisiting older posts and hearing new views on the episodes. Everyone brings something interesting to the discussion so don’t hesitate to add your two cents even if you think it is seemingly insignificant. It won’t be because it will give us all something SMK to think about.

Thanks for the welcome! In reading the posts, it felt like a place for friends to hang out, laugh, and have fun together which is why I felt it would be okay to put out that first post.
I have homeschooled my daughter too on and off at home where we currently live as well as at her school as her classroom teacher because of her medical issues. We are moving to be near medical specialists for her and my husband as well as the educational programs and services offered. The area is simply beautiful.
With your encouragement, I will share some thoughts and questions that have been bumping around in my head as I have been reading the older posts. I first have to stop laughing and giggling long enough (especially when looking at the photos) to compose my thoughts coherently.

Love this series. I’ll admit that I’m a FanFic author where SMK is involved and I’ve written 5 stories about SMK (I’m kind’ve working on two others.) Love your walkthroughs. Can’t wait for your take on the remainder of Season 3 and Season 4 (and yes, I’m impatient!)

Hi Iwsod,
I just binge-watched all four seasons of SMK (thanks to my 2-week vacation) and was kind of reluctant and sad to let go of the series and the characters just yet. Somewhere in the middle of season 4 (as it became obvious that my happy little bubble was coming to an end) I discovered your amazing blog and I’m sooo glad that I did. Your blog gave my life meaning and purpose again as I can now start watching the entire series all over again – this time in the right order or at least an order that makes more sense 😉

To be totally honest: I’m kind of obsessed with SMK at the moment. I can’t count how many times a day I visit your blog just to walk through episodes. It’s kind of embarrassing, sitting in front of your laptop and grinning like a fool just because you’re watching SMK, reading this blog or watching videos on Youtube (“Sharp Dressed Man” has me grinning like crazy the whole time).

I look forward to maybe hearing some of your thoughts on the episodes as you walk through again and rewatch. Any and all insights related to the smk walk are welcome!
[Just avoid jumping ahead of where the current walk is up to please 🙂 ]

I’m yet to get into season 4 with the walk, so I guess that ‘impending end’ feeling is going to hit me eventually too.. gah! I intend to go back to season 1 and walk through that again – in more detail than I did originally.
You’ll see the blog has been (and still is) a work in progress, and the walk has varied a little over the years – I’m now at a point where I think I’ve mostly found a happy groove…. and it involves lots of wonderful smk details! 🙂

A two week smk binge sounds ideal for me right now. Lucky you!!
Real life is more busy than I’d like but.. oh well.. I squeeze in smk time where I can!

Sharp dressed man is fabulous indeed! Do also check out Lovesmk’s blog- she’s a real talent I agree! (The link is in side bar – ‘getting to know you’ it’s called) and also check out the forum called Nedlindger’s – which is an smk forum that is an off shoot of this blog. We needed a little place to go to for conversation not directly related to blog posts (on a blog random conversation can get lost quickly!). See the side bar for a link to the Nedlindger’s forum also 🙂
uh oh… have I just fed your obsession even more? muahahahahaaaa!!! 🙂

I second the welcome, Christina! I remember the rush I had when I realized that this blog was all about SMK and it was currently happening!!! I begin binging on episodes over and over and started commenting when and where I could. Glad you found us – and Lee and Amanda!

Oh no, don’t feel embarrassed about the crazy grin at the screen while reading or watching anything SMK. We are all too familiar with that reality. In fact I would love to make more time in my life for quality time foolishly grinning about SMK.

Thank you all for the warm welcome! I will certainly check out the links listed in the sidebar. Now I just need to find out how to create a WordPress account and I’ll be set.

When I discovered this blog I was sad to see that it stopped somewhere mid-season 3 and I thought that whoever created this blog had lost interest (or that life got in the way) as I only remembered the date the blog was started. You can’t belive how relieved I was when I saw that you where still “walking”.
I look forward to commenting as much as my time will allow. Sadly vacations can’t go on forever…

I can’t believe it either!! We started in 2011. wow! 🙂 I think if I’d stopped to think oh it will take me about 6 years to walk through all the episodes, I might never have started!! 🙂 I’m glad I didn’t think that.. and I’m glad I started 🙂

And I need to be honest here Christina, this walk is not something I continue on my own at all!!!!
This walk continues thanks to everyone who stops by and joins the walk – if there was no one walking with me, I would have hopped on a bus by now 😉 [notice Christina, this includes you 🙂 ]
And.. so many smk fans who stop by here actually practically contribute to the walk, by transcribing dialogue and sending it to me, so I can use it in the posts.. Without this – I would not have been able to keep the walk continuing at any pace due to real life commitments.

So.. long story short – everyone who stops by here is contributing to keeping this walk going. And thank you everyone!!!! 🙂

I look forward to commenting as much as my time will allow. Sadly vacations can’t go on forever…

No pressure! SMK is for fun! stop by and share when you can – you are always welcome 🙂
Bye!

Wow! I’m amazed at how much work you’ve put into this. I am re-watching SMK and am about half way through season one. It’s great to know that I’m not the only one that still loves this show! (my husband just doesn’t get it)

Welcome to Just walk with me (JWWM) Xiola! So glad you’ve found us and said hello!!!

I hope you can join in the discussion as we continue to walk… but.. also do share your thoughts on season 1 episodes if you are reading through those posts on the blog – comments never close on episodes and they are always open to be discussed 🙂
LOL good thing we have internet smk fellow fans.. so husbands/boyfriends these days don’t have to get it 😉

Hi Xiola. No-one’s husband gets it. My husband got so sick of hearing SMK theme tune playing yet again that I had to started forwarding through the opening credits to avoid his complaints. Now I use headphones 🙂

Ahhh Xiola and Learjet.. you guys sent me off on a fun little tangent with this funny image of husbands in misery 😉 whahahaha.. Yep I find it funny! 🙂 and.. I wanted to do something completely mindless.. lol..

I made this for you two:

[If I were clever I’d put it to the smk music..but you get the idea 😉 ]

Learjet, I’m not sure when or why I started to use headphones, but now I do on a regular basis. Sometimes you hear more things than if you didn’t have the headphones. I don’t have the husband issue, but I do have students who find me odd if I happen to be reading this blog during study hall and have a reaction to a comment.

Yay! Welcome Xiola! It is so much fun when someone new discovers JWWM! We all rejoice because we all must hang together, none of our husbands can understand, but we all understand each other don’t we? Welcome!!!

On behalf of those who were too young to have their own vhs recorders and now cant find the series on dvd, a huge thankyou for taking the time to do this and to bring back great childhood memories of an awesome family show 🙂

Wow love this site! Really 🙂 It’s so much fun to read. I hope you don’t mind that I added your site to the link list of my site. Would be wonderful if you do the same but you don’t have to.
By the way i thought i’m the only one who watch smk daily LOL
Hvae a wonderful ristmals and Happy New Year 🙂

I’m so happy to discover this happy gang of SMK crazy people like me. It’s been a long time since I found a place to talk about this show without people edging slowly away, eyes glazed over and with no understanding of BB’s dimples and beautiful eyes!

Hi everybody. I discovered this wonderful and funny page two years ago but somehow didn’t manage to join it earlier (shame on me. LOL!) I’m from Germany and have loved this show since I watched it for the first time in 1993 on German TV. I still can’t get enough of it chuckles
Well that’s it for now.

Hi, I have just recently found you.
I loved the show in the 80’s and had to get my friend to tape it for me, as I did not have a VCR yet, I can’t remember why I couldn’t watch it when it aired, but I remember racing over as soon as I had time, to watch it. I loved it.
I still need to buy the DVD’s and gave only been able to watch episodes online, but quality not great that way.
I am really looking forward to following the rest of the series with you and when I get my DVD’s I will be watching over and over again.
Where is the best place to get them? I have been looking online, but need to make sure I can play in Australia.

Hi Carol! And welcome to JWWM! You have come across this little “All-things-SMK-loving” community at the perfect time! We are just discussing Utopia Now and that big “Not exactly….” walk-off comment by Amanda! I live in the States, so don’t have any useful DVD purchasing advice for Australia, but I’m sure that Iwsod will be along soon to welcome you and can help you out with that – she is an SMK DVD master!

Thanks,
I am so excited to find others who love the show too.
I have not watched for many years and am currently watching all episodes
through right now, in my spare time, and staying up too way too late each evening getting through the episodes. I am near the end of season 3, but when I get my DVD’s I will be able go through them again, and will join your discussions on each episode.
By the way, and I know you are concentrating on Utopia right now, but which episode does Lee, realize he loves Amanda and actually kisses her properly?
C

Hi Carol. I’m not iwsod but I am in Australia so I can tell you about the dvd. I did see the region 4 (Au/NZ) dvds in Target and Big W but they don’t seem to be there at the moment (but I’m in the West so it might be different for you as either you’re in the Eastern states or you wake up very early). Your best is the Australian ebay. My advice: if you can afford it, buy all four seasons at once so you don’t have to wait….
Iwsod’s policy with this blog is that we don’t skip ahead of where we are in the walk so no-one can answer your kiss question, but we have a forum called Nedlindgers where you can ask your question and I (or someone else) will answer quickly 🙂

To answer your questions about DVDs, I bought season 1 at target when it was first released, but I think there wasn’t enough Australian sales so they didn’t release anymore in Australia.
I ordered the rest from Amazon.com – I’d say go for it and just get them from Amazon.com- or as Learjet suggested.. ebay.com.au might be a source also. At least with Amazon you know they are not counterfeit..

A great question -when does Lee realise he loves Amanda and actually kiss her properly?
For a straight out answer to this one – please head over to the forum Nedlindger’s and ask it there – people will love to help you with that there. [It’s very simple and easy to join]

Here on Just Walk with Me, the philosophy is that we stick with where the characters are at – and we don’t jump ahead with the story (or maybe I should say we don’t walk ahead of Lee and Amanda.. we walk WITH them 🙂
… the idea is that we can attempt to experience the story as the characters would have.. or as we would have when we originally watched the show air back in the 80s.

I think I watched 2 episodes in the 80s and completely lost track of it, so experiencing the show’s story like this has been a really new and interesting way to enjoy the show.

So to answer your question in a Just Walk With Me frame of mind Carol.. now we are at utopia now, I’m thinking that Lee on some level realizes now that he loves Amanda – but figuring out how he can do this love thing, and actually acting on it with Amanda and ‘actually kissing her’ has not happened yet. Will it happen soon? I try to forget what I know of what’s ahead.. which raises a whole bunch of new and interesting questions which help us to explore the characters and their journey – now Amanda has put ‘not exactly’ out there- what’s Lee going to do with it??!!!
Some of us put Sour Grapes after Utopia Now.. but.. if you didn’t.. you would be looking forward to the next episode to see where they stand wouldn’t you??!! You’d be wondering for a week- eek!!! what’s Lee gonna do with it?!! he going to jump into things?? or is he going to take a step back?? or will he maybe do neither?? I look forward to continuing this walk and enjoying the story as it unfolds [If you’d like to discuss utopia now, head over to the episode posts to discuss – if you can’t find something on JWWM feel free to email me and ask for a link, the layout of the blog might take some getting use to]
– sometimes what the characters don’t do can tell us new things about the characters we wouldn’t learn if we didn’t stop to explore where the characters are at right now..
Soooo Carol, this is a rather long and rambling welcome.. eek!
I hope you will feel free to jump on in and share – any smk thoughts of every variety are very welcome.. we don’t always see the characters the same way here on JWWM – and that’s half the fun.. the only request is that we don’t refer to anything that’s ahead in the story 🙂
I look forward to hearing from another Aussie!!! whooo hoo!! (you in the west or the east? – don’t answer if you don’t want to.. all good! byeee)

Thanks for the welcome, I have just finished skimming throught the whole 4 Series and have ordered the DVD’s so i can start again and take in all the details and join in where you are up to. Very exciting….Hopefully the DVDs are clearer that online veiwing.
I live in Sydney, but when I originally watched, I was in Brisbane and had young children.
I can’t wait for my DVD’s, hopefully they will arrive Monday or Tuesday…

Carol if you don’t mind me asking, where did you order the dvds through? and how much did you pay?
I’ll give a cheer for ya when the dvds arrive!!! I still remember getting mine in the post – I was amazed to get every season- because I never knew if the next one would be released!!!

Hi Iwsod! I came across your site about a month ago and have been reading, laughing, smiling, enjoying, daydreaming….ever since. You have given me much joy – LIke many people here I have loooooved this show for many years and often felt like the only one who knew of this great series. I remember seeing the commercial for the first episode and it catching my attention that I made it a point to watch it. I’ve been a fan (sometimes fanatic) ever since. Of course, I loved Scarecrow (and his hair) the most but the chemistry and love story really connected with me for some reason.
For a long time I thought I was the only one out there but looks like there’s lots of us SMKers.
Many many thanks. Reading your blog has definitely brought happiness and smiles to me.

Welcome to JWWM, htm1! I’m BJo, just someone who helps iwsod moderate comments on the blog. Because you are a first time commenter, yours went into moderation. And yep, there are lots of people out there who love SMK (and Lee’s hair 😉 ). I’m sure iwsod will also greet you as soon as she can, but I just wanted to say welcome and happy exploring the blog! There is no time limit to post comments on posts, so feel free to comment anytime if you wish!

Thanks BJo! I am looking forward to exploring very much. I used to think I knew alot about SMK but I’m learning and noticing new things from this site. This is gonna be fun….or will make me more obsessed with this show. Oh well, that’s not a bad thing….Take care.

hiya htm1!! welcome welcome!!! So glad you found JWWM.. sounds like your love of smk has had no where to be expressed- well feel free to express away here as we walk through the episodes together!

you loved scarecrow and Lee’s hair? rofl!! ha! I love it!! 🙂

I’ll second what BJo wrote – feel free to add comments to any posts that have gone on before..

Also all the smk fans here are very welcoming and if they refer to something – like say the famous ‘tupperware’ theory – feel free to ask them to explain themselves 😉 I’m sure you’ll be brought up to speed in no time! 🙂

I agree smk brings lots of smiles and happiness- I hope you enjoy your time here sharing your love for smk with us all 🙂

Thanks also for your kind words about the blog- very encouraging!!!

Everyone who stops by and says hi makes this blog what it is 🙂

Do you have access to watching the show now?

you’ve picked a really interesting time to join in commenting as we swap ideas about over the limit – phew! Such a big episode for Lee and Amanda and dare I say it- for us fans too! 🙂

Thank you all for being so welcoming…I do have access to watching the show – have all the DVDs (yeah!) but just need to find the time. With 2 small kids the tv is mostly on SuperWhy or Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. No nice hair there….

I loved the show so much that I taped the episodes on a VCR when they originally aired, then taped them to a cassette so that I could at least listen to them. (My folks wouldn’t allow me to watch tv on weekdays but they let me listen to my Walkman. Oh boy, showing my age…)I no longer have a VCR but I still have those tapes someplace.

I’m starting reading from Season One but perhaps I should bounce ahead…Thank you again. Knowing others share fondness for this show is a great thing!

I think if I discovered this blog now, I’d probably start at the beginning and also start following from the current episode – I’d do both!
What would everyone else do??

I’d want to follow the show from the start, but I’d also want to join the current discussion and begin to swap ideas and jokes with other commenters..
Such a delicious dilemma you face htm1! 🙂 tee heee..

Hello htm1! Isn’t it wonderful to find a whole bunch of us SMK lovers?! I was so happy to find them as well. The show is something special and I think this blog and the discussions makes it even more so. So glad you found us. I hope you feel free to chime in and comment. Welcome.

Mahalo, Morley, for your kind welcome. It is wonderful….as is the show. I’ll try to chime in but you guys already contribute interesting new thoughts and ideas which I appreciate very much. Have a great day!

Hi there Iwsod
Just gotta say thanks for that new picture up the top. It’s one I’ve never seen before & it’s lovely to discover new things 😀
I love the look on Lee’s face here – makes me smile too – maybe not as hugely as he’s doing though 🙂

Awh! why thank you!! 🙂 it is very cute huh!!! I know the old Kate Jackson site had loads of new pics.. wish I’d asked to copy more of them now.. seems the site has sadly faded away.. there are tons of pics out there that I don’t have..

He looks so young on this picture, really boyish but unbelievably cute though ;o)
By having a closer look at the expression on both of their faces I wonder whether she is doing something funny with her hands maybe….?

Hi MarA,
Welcome aboard, I’m only very new here myself 😀
I think you may be onto something there – well done! If I was her I know I would be LOL! And like you said looking at that cheeky look on her face…
😉

Dear iwosd,
I discovered your blog a few months ago and I was so surprised, amazed and so happy to find out that I am not the only maniac out there who is still obsessed and in love with a thirty year old TV show.
Back in the 80s I was such a big fan of this show but over the years I completely forgot about it and last October by accident I stumbled over some SMK music videos on YouTube and I was swept off my feet… and later I found out that exactly that day was Kate Jackson’s 65th Birthday – nice coincidence :o)
I immediately ordered all DVDs and watched all episodes almost twice until now. Amanda and Lee are for me definitely the most lovable TV couple I’ve seen so far. They’ve really touched my heart. Every time I watch an episode it just makes me happy and having found your blog, reading all the funny comments and interesting discoveries you make it is really the cherry on the cake. Please keep up with your journey… I will certainly walk with you.
Maybe not with actively commenting so much, as English is not my first language it always takes a while to write things down and it’s difficult to express all this subtle interpersonal nuances you discuss, but be assured I am out there a big, big fan of SMK and your blog.

So glad you decided to comment and say hello!!! It is such an encouragement to hear from you and others that you are reading and enjoying the journey!

I understand if you don’t comment often – there is no pressure – just know that if or when you do – I love to hear from you 🙂 it truly is an encouragement!

If there’s anything said here on the blog by myself or others which you don’t understand feel free to ask us to clarify or explain what we mean.. I try to avoid too much Australian jargon but it does slip in from time to time! what a great way to practice your English – with Lee and Amanda! 🙂

I had a similar experience to you – when I rediscovered smk, I consumed all the smk you tube videos I could find!!!!
You are lucky though MarA! when I rediscovered smk, there were no official dvds which I could order.. I just lived in hope they would be released one day..

I guess this blog is a celebration of this hope being fulfilled – we did get the dvds in the end after all those years of wishing!!!! So now, we can revisit the show on a long, slow journey and just savour it – you know?

The exact day of Kate Jackson’s 65th birthday? very cool!! I agree – and am sure many others here will agree with you- that this is the most lovable couple on tv I’ve seen! All others pale in comparison! Lovely to hear they’ve touched your heart MarA, I hope your heart is touched some more as we walk through the episodes – you’ve joined us at a very crucial time in Lee and Amanda’s story!

At the same time though, feel free to go back to earlier episodes.. and share any of your thoughts or likes or questions as much as you like. Posts are always open for us to post new comments 🙂

Welcome MarA. As I read your comments I thought to myself that what you said was exactly what I probably said two years ago. here is just something about watching SMK that makes me happy and sharing it with others just makes the happiness grow. Glad you are here!

Hi everyone. I’m a newbie in here, but love the place already! It’s amazing to see that you’ve kept it up – so glad to see.
Just started watching our favourite duo again from the beginning last night & thought I’d try the watch/read along – though I do admit I think it took me longer to read the blog on ‘The First Time’ than it took to watch the episode LOL!
Looking forward to watching the coming episodes with everyone.
I’m in Australia as well & can well relate to Iwsod regarding anyone away from here thinking I was a weirdo re drooling over Lee whom I had a massive crush on from the age of 10.
Great to be able to share & see what everyone’s else opinions are

Hiya ebineez!
Great to hear from you!!
I am always happy to hear from my fellow smk fans – but I confess to hear from an Aussie has Made My Day!!! 🙂
I understand well how few people really got to see smk in Australia and the lack of Austrailan smk fans – why do you think that is? I think the humour would have appealed to Australians.. maybe people just didn’t get to watch it?
Did you see the whole show on tv during it’s first run? I didn’t. I saw two or three episodes and that’s it!
which state (or territory) are you in?

Really glad you found us.. Hey so you are starting at the first time are you?
I hope you can also sneak a peek and join us with our current discussions – we are just about to head into Season 3 – a really great time to join the discussion!!
Byeee- and Welcome!! [Nice Avatar! err I mean ‘not bad’! 😉 ]

Hi
Thanks for the nice welcome.
I’m in NSW – grew up in Newcastle at the time SMK would have aired on tv. I did watch a lot of it on tv at the time as my mum & dad were fans as well – they’ve also had a walk down memory lane & watched the DVDs.
I also remember ‘torturing’ my friends in primary school with recaps of the episodes the next day after they had aired & none of them seemed to watch it so the recaps were fairly substantial – always with a great big dose of how gorgeous Lee was. It must have had some kind of following though cause I remember having pics & posters of him from tv week stuck to my wall (with glue – mum wasn’t happy!)
As far as the avatar – absolutely adore ‘cute Lee’. There are a few times he pulls that ‘puppy dog’ face & I melt every time – really glad individual spots on DVDs don’t wear out!

I think I’ll be able to catch up pretty well to where you’re at in the series, although I definitely don’t want to rush through the first 2 seasons too quickly as they are definitely my fav’s.

Thanks again for the nice welcome & hope to have something more to contribute soon

Ebineez, you glued tv week posters on your wall? rofl! err.. you still got any? 😉 ]
I bet your mum was mad because she wishes she could have had Lee Stetson on her wall 😉 haaa…
I wish I’d had a friend like you in high school Ebineez, because I wasn’t able to watch the show most of the time.. and with no vcr, I just missed out – which probably explains why I’ve gone nuts with smk over the last 5 or 6 years since rediscovering it.. [and why my ol handle was initially ‘I Want SMK on DVD’!!! but then they were finally released so I just became ‘Iwsod’ 🙂 ]

Email me if you’d like to get more specific about geography [though no pressure] 🙂iwsod@optusnet.com.au
I’m in NSW now and moving to QLD this week! (but try not to get more specific than that on the web!) 🙂

I look forward to hearing your thoughts Ebineez, the pace of the blog over the last few months has been fast [because iwsod has been impatient to move forward and had way too much time on her hands 😮 ] but I am now slowing down things a little- so this will make it easier for people to catch up on earlier episodes too I imagine..
I am thinking I’d like to go back and reread posts on s1 and s2 to refresh my memory on what has come before Season 3. I am thinking there will be lots of looking back to earlier times as things move forward with Lee and Amanda 🙂
bye!
iwsod

LOL.. I’m pretty sure that software had nothing to do with BOTH our computers dying! 😉

If you’d like to chat about other shows smk fans from here are discussing this over at the related Nedlindger’s forum (see the homepage for the link) but I’ll make it easy for ya.. : http://nedlindgers.proboards.com/
– you’ll need to sign up to see the threads but trust me- it’s easy to sign up.. and there are threads there of smk fans discussing other shows! [yep! Remington Steele is one of them]
There’s the yuku forum also, though I’m not up to date on what’s there I’m sure there’ll be something there too.

There are quite a few RS lovers here! Kgmhror has started her own blog going through the episodes of Remington Steele (Gooooo Kgmhror!!)
If you’d like to check that out here’s the link: http://kgmohror.com/

If and when you can join in here and share your thoughts – you will be most welcome ! 🙂

I just wanted to say how very much I love love love this blog! Having discovered it recently, I never leave it without a smile and joyful feeling. I just finished the entire 4 seasons for the first time in 15+ years, and plan to start it again, this time w your delightful commentary. Hope y’all have a splendid day!

Welcome to the blog, Jule! It is nice to have you here! I discovered this blog about 4-5 months ago and feel the same as you – I never leave without it brightening my day! Looking forward to hearing your thoughts as you make your way through the episodes again!

Hello! I have to say that this is an awesome site. I loved Scarecrow and Mrs. King when it originally aired and recently got a Kindle and have been streaming it. I am so happy that others love(d) the show so much. After reading some of the posts I go back and look at the episode again and sometimes see it in a new way. I even wear headphones to catch some of the comments.

I also like the stats for each episode and thought it would be great to see how many times they ask each other “Are you all right?”. It would also be great to count how many times Amanda has that purse of hers. I hadn’t really noticed it until I watched several episodes all at once. In “Spiderweb” she even keeps it on after dropping everything else to pick up the bat and Lee even puts it back on her shoulder when it starts to come off.

I also wanted to add that I recently came across a two part interview on Youtube that they did with Merv Griffin. It was so cute and so true to their characters. When Kate Jackson started to sort of ramble at one point, Bruce Boxleitner called her “Amanda”. It was awesome.

I can’t wait to read each post and look forward to each one. Thanks for providing a place for us die hard fans.

Hi Valerie and welcome to the blog! I’m glad you are enjoying the stats posts, they are fun to create. What season are you currently watching, 2? I like the idea of tracking “Are you all right?” but I must admit I’ve never really noticed Amanda’s purse. I’m just about finished the Sudden Death stats posts, so I’ll keep it in mind starting with Always Look A Gift Horse in the Mouth. Thank you for the suggestions – hope you come back to visit often!

And I’m with you on the Merv interview – love, loved when BB calls KJ Amanda!

Valerie Welcome!!!!!! So glad you found us!!!!! And that you have joined in the fun!!

You have some great ideas for the stats! I love them too!!! They are lots of fun!!

Maybe as you work your way through the show you could add your stats on tracking ‘Are you alright’? and Amanda’s purse to each of Bjo’s threads?? you could add a comment and let us all know?? You are welcome to join in the fun and tally up these gems as you find them and share the fruits of your labours with us all!!! 🙂 I am open to regular visitors contributing blog posts too Valerie – if that would increase your smk fun!!

Agreed the Merv Interview was too cute!!

Looking forward to Sudden Death Bjo – oh wait.. gosh that doesn’t sound good!! errr maybe I should say I’m looking forward to you covering the episode titled ‘Sudden Death’ Bjo! LOL!!! And THAT kiss!!!! THAT Wink!!!!! I’m guessing we’ll see a gif of that one???!!!! 🙂 Bjo knows what we like!!!! 🙂

Lovely to hear from you Valerie!!! Hey guys feel free to join in and welcome Valerie!
byeeee!

Hello! First timer here! I LOVE this blog! I loved all your insights and I have to say, I laughed until there were tears at several comments you had made (i.e. Little Billy in big chair, Lee talking into his wallet, Baddies unmasking Amanda’s headband instead of blindfold). Thank you for keeping me entertained for hours! 😀

I do have access to the show! And now what I do is as I watch it, I follow it with your blog and both become that much more enjoyable! I would love to comment on your postings, although you are very thorough! Have a wonderful week!!!!!

You will see on the blog homepage there is a category list on the right sidebar. You can select ‘Season One’ and it will list all season one episode posts….Or! You can always search ( see the search box just above the categories menu) the episode’s title.. once you are at a post though, you can always just choose to move on to the next post with a shortcut at the top of the post to go on to the next post (right arrow), or back to the previous post (left arrow)

I knooooow it’s not great – such is the limitations of blogging on wordpress for free 😉
but feel free to email me if you get lost! iwsod@optusnet.com.au

The first episode is different- I’ve done one post with many pages, but from the second episode onwards, I’ve split the episodes into various numbers of posts ( depending on how much time I had to cover the episode or how interested in it I was! haa!)

And here’s the second episode: (split into 3 posts.. LOL these days I do a minimum of 7 or 8 and make them smaller! )

Thanks iwsod! I was just about to ask this! I just got my DVD’s and I’d forgotten how much I liked Season One. Yes, sometimes Lee’s treatment of Amanda is a bit trying but Amanda’s got some great one liners! It’ll be fun to go through the blog posts with the episodes! Which I’m going to do right now…Byeee!

Thanks for the warm welcome! I live in the States and I can access all of the episodes of SMK via Amazon Prime Streaming video……and I have over and over again for the past month or so….Lee is totally yummy. Now they would totally take advantage of his hotness and have him run around with his shirt off far more often…the 80″s were apparently a bit more conservative than I remember! :o)

Hi Elissa and welcome from Canada.
Like you, I thought I was alone in my obsession — I mean appreciation of Scarecrow and Mrs. King. I am not sure to be relieved or alarmed that this is not the case — LOL! My other big obsession in the 80s was Remington Steele (I still can recite the opening of season one by heart). I can’t wait to hear your take on the episodes.
Cheers!

Hi Cindy! Remington Steele was my absolute favorite when it was on! I was so excited when PB got the role of Bond!!
I love Canada! I have been all across your country! It’s beautiful! We have family in Montreal! Thanks for the welcome, I love knowing thAt I am not alone!!

Welcome, Elissa! Have fun catching up on all of the blog posts. I think Remington Steele and Scarecrow and Mrs King had a lot of similar fans. Now, if I can get one of my bosses to pay me more and free up some time, we could get a Remington Steele blog going, too. 🙂

Hi Melissa.. I hear ya! I was worried I wouldn’t have enough time.. sometimes I don’t LOL!.. but then I figure I’ll just do what I can when I can.. I think if I had waited till I had lots of time to do it then I would never have done it (that’s just how I am!) – but yeah I hear ya..
It is a commitment.. sometimes I don’t have much time for the blog..I read everything, but don’t always have time to respond to comments: which I really really enjoy and appreciate getting! 🙂

Maybe you and Cindy could combine forces on the RS blog? More than one person can run a blog- sharing the load would be great. Ie. one person can be the administrator, but you can have editors in addition to edit, moderate, post etc. here is a link on it if you are interested http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/ 🙂
Just a thought! I would definitely be reading and learning about RS!!! byeeee my studies are beginning to kick in with full force – feeling quite stressed actually! eek!

Hi, I just discovered your blog….I read just part of “Three Faces of Emily” and I am hooked. I loved SMK when it originally aired and recently rediscovered it and have been watching the episodes over and over….but it’s been kind of a bummer because I don’t know anyone who shares my appreciation…(actually, currently it’s kind of an obsession for some reason)…Reading your blog is great…I can’t wait to read it all from end to end.

Hello Elissa! Lovely to hear from you! I’m very glad you have found this blog and said hello!!! 🙂

I’m just a fellow smk fan like you – who wants to walk through all the episodes and find all of smk’s goodies!!! And.. I wanted to walk with my fellow smk fans and learn from them, bounce ideas of them.. and just have lots of FUN together!!!!

I hope you will feel free to share your thoughts here with other smk fans- they are a lovely fandom I must say!

I know how you feel- no one in my day to day life has any interested in Scarecrow and Mrs King – my experience has been the same as yours: wow!!!! there are others who love this show too?! cool!!! I want to talk with them!!!! 🙂 and laugh with them!! 🙂 and drool at Lee with them 🙂 – I can occassionally revert to my 8 year old self over Lee – and I don’t have to worry: they know I’m not insane : they get it too 😉

Obsessed by SMK? Welcome to the club Elissa!!!! Do you have access to the show?? Which country are you in Elissa?
I’m in Australia..

Feel free to comment on any posts – they don’t expire.. though at the moment as you can see I am up to Season 2, episode 11 : with many, many more episodes to go!! 🙂
